Sukkot!

Dear Parents,

The children have been very busy this week learning all about the holiday of Sukkot!
We learnt about the special Mitzvah (commandment from the Torah) to sit in a Sukkah.  We discussed the reason we sit in a Sukkah as well as read a Hebrew book on this topic.

In addition, we learnt about the Mitzvah of shaking and saying a special blessing on the "4 kinds"- a lulav (date palm frond), an etrog (citron), at least three hadassim (myrtle branches) and two aravot (willow branches)  


To help us understand some of the concepts of this holy day, we....

• The children made a welcome sign for the sukkah in Hebrew.
• The children made their own Sukkah using their imagination.

 We sang....a hebrew song for Sukkotr called

1. "Ba, Ba, Chag Ha'sukkot Ba....Chag Sameach."
2. "Mi Yo'de'a, Mi Yo'da'at....La'she'vet Ba'sukah..."
3. Mi Yo'de'a, Mi Yo'da'at......Li'tol Ar'ba Mi'nim...."

May you have a joyous Sukkot!

Morah Mushky
